I've been using EasyBlog on this site for some time now, and suddenly the Joomla Email Cloaking has started to fail. I have the latest version of Joomla and EasyBlog installed. Instead of getting the email link when an email is inside a blog posting, you get "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it" on the screen. At first I thought that maybe the Joomla Email Cloaking got broken, but it works everywhere else on the site, except in EasyBlog. The actual link for the email still works (it opens up the email client with the correct email address), but the actual text is messed up.
Hello Jim,

Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

I did some further testing and discovered that when I remade the email address, everything went back to normal. I actually looked at the blog posting HTML and there's literally no difference in what they did and what I did. I only found the problem on their latest several postings and I just went in and remade the email addresses and saved and it's all good now. I have no explanation as to what they might have done with their postings that could have caused this to happen, especially since I looked at the HTML code on both and what they had in there and what I typed was the same. They may have copy and pasted this content and it might have brought over something I wasn't able to see? . . . Not sure, but it doesn't seem to be anything that EasyBlog is doing. I really appreciate the quick response.

Hello Jim,

Hm, to be honest with you I am not really sure what actually happened but I believe / suspect that this is due to them copy / pasting it from a different source.
